BOSTON - A tractor trailer crashed into the B.U. Bridge shutting down part of Soldiers Field Road for several hours early Tuesday morning.
The truck hit the overpass on Storrow Drive around 11 p.m. Monday.

All eastbound lanes remain closed on Storrow Drive w/ traffic being diverted onto Western Ave. in Brighton, after last night’s bridge strike. Tractor-trailer hit train bridge just prior to the BU Bridge on Storrow East. Truck will not be removed until after AM commute. #MATraffic

Large trucks have been urged to avoid Storrow Drive, Soldiers Field Road and Memorial Drive because some overpasses are only 9 feet high. The state has warned drivers not to get "Storrowed."
